Thorn of the Black Rose seems like a good fit here, even if it is just for flavor adding to the 'Tyrant's Choice' theme. It's starting to pop up more established builds, even replacing Gurmag in some cases.

Glistening Oil seems a little out of place. Are you using it to make your larger creatures small enough to be returned? If not then you have no reason to play it. If so then you should cut it because there are much better options. You could use Fevered Convulsions to achieve the same thing faster despite the mana investment (and you can use it on enemy creatures.) However, I recommend Sorceress Queen instead, for not only serving the same purpose but also being more versatile and being a creature with power 0 it fits very well.

At first glance AEther Vial looks really good considering all the 2 and 3 drops. but after thinking about it I realized that there is a far better option you can use: Vedalken Orrery. You may have to spend more mana but you can use it multiple times every every turn rather than once each turn rotation once you get an altar out.

A lot of your cards are simply too low-impact to be worth playing, like archetype of courage, celestial archon, underworld coinsmith, garrulous sycophant, knights of the black rose, marchesa's decree

crown of doom, bladed pinions and norn's annex are pretty weak too. I'd also cut reliquary tower because not making colored mana is a pretty big drawback especially for a 3 color deck, and your deck doesn't draw nearly enough cards for it to really matter
